"The federal government says it will introduce new gun control legislation before the endof the year as it works to fulfil a suite of promises made on the campaign trail morethan two years ago.

[...]

The government said in its 2015 platform that changes made by former Prime MinisterStephen Harper's Conservative government have 'steadily weakened our gun laws in waysthat make Canadians more vulnerable and communities more dangerous.'"http://thestarphoenix.com/news/local-news/liberals-promise-to-introduce-new-gun-control-legislation-this-year

So the Libs *do* actually keep election campaign promises once in a while. Even if thecampaign promise was based on a lie...

I think we have pretty reasonable gun control regulations. Anyone whowants to possess or acquire firearms and ammunition has to obtain a PAL.Restricted firearms require another level of PAl. There are safestorage laws. There will be no more PALs issued for prohibited weapons.There re safe storage laws, and that makes it virtually impossible toshoot another person without violating those permits.

It is only the very rare exception where a person with a PAL and legallyowned fireworks is involved in a firearms homicide. The overwhelmingmajority of firearms homicides are committed by young gang members whodo not hold PALs and whose guns are acquired illegally, usually smuggledinto the country.

I am all for harsh punishment for those who commit crimes and especiallythose who use firearms to commit crimes. They don't want to have toimprison people who whine that they are disproportionately overrepresented in the prison population. They would prefer to put up somewindow dressing, making criminals of otherwise peaceful citizens whileignoring the people who are causing the problem.

The last time this was done in Ontario, thousands of legal firearm owners had their guns seized for NO reason. They then had to spend hundreds of dollars and several months "requalifying" (they were already tested prior to this), having background checks re-done, re-training. This was the most pointless exercise ever and accomplished NOTHING. White, middle-class target shooters and hunters and other LEGAL gun owners are NOT the problem and the liberals KNOW it.

I hope they address the problem of armaments caches. Especially in thecontext of organizations (corporate and religious) the maintenance ofprivate arms depots/caches needs to be considered. Steve Paddock isjust an example of what an *individual* can do with a little planning.

The main abusers of guns in Canada are black thugs in Toronto and "natives."You factor them out, we have a gun crime rate lower than Nordic countries. The rest are suicides which is anyone's right.
